I agree that Walton makes a lot of sense in Sacramento. It’s hilarious that Magic wanted to quit rather than fire Walton and he still leaves.

This is a buy low opportunity on a potentially very good coach if I ever saw one. It makes me think maybe Divac is getting better as a GM. It would be exquisite Karma if the Kings were good under Walton and the Lakers continued to flounder.

Im picking the Jazz in 6 just to be contrarian.

and then…

Jazz in 7

Now that’s really being contrarian. 😉

Probably won’t happen, but the Nets are one of those teams that could be a handful because who knows if the young players will step up.

I think the Jazz get smoked. If Steph’s ankle lingers (they should sit him as long as they can) Houston has the potential to be a real challenge.

Nuggets in 6
Blazers in 7
Rockets in 6

Warriors should obviously smoke the Clippers. Nuggets should smoke San Antonio but Poppovich is such a good coach I’ll give them 2 wins. Blazers-Thunder is a total tossup. Both teams have injury problems and OKC hasn’t been playing well either. Rockets/Jazz is also really close and Houston has had a tendency to choke in big moments. Wouldn’t be surprised at an upset here.
